Xorg Mouse button configuration

[Tristan Ward]

Thanks.  That has at least got me forward/back browsing functionality on 
my thumb buttons.  I have sent a communication to logitech requesting 
that they provide the X.org people wth the information they require to 
add full support for Logitech products...here's hoping...

Regards,
Tristan Ward
